Ive got a Dbox2 and i flashed it all ok and its running fine, ive just got my hands on another one and the guy says its a nokia dbox1 and is already in debug mode - when i turn it on the menus etc is in english but the channels to select are rtl etc.

I need to know what software I can use to flash the dbox1 - is it the same as the dbox2 or any different ? Ive got the rs232 cable and all that and dbox ifa - its just been a long time since i did the old one and i need to get this one sorted so any help is appreciated

no you shouldnt flash with dbox2 .you need the dbox x1 image
flash the same as dbox2.
use flash fxp.
. Power on the TV and DBox, but don’t hook it up to your PC yet.
first do a system restore point just in case.
Using the remote control, press DBOX > SETTINGS > NETWORK
Take a note of the DBox network settings
(this is an example only)

disable all firewals and antivirus.
Right-click the network card (it may say Local Area Connection),
and select PROPERTIES > CONFIGURE > ADVANCED tab
Select the ‘Use the following IP address’
Enter the settings, as you seen it on your DBox, except the IP address will be one digit less of the last number
(eg. 192.168.0.3 on DBox, so use 192.168.0.2 on your PC)

OK these settings.

Connect the RJ45 cable between PC and DBox (linking them together)

Run the Flash FXP program
On one side should be the files on the PC
On the other side make sure you select ‘ftp browser’ (the tab is a monitor and folder picture)
(It may already be selected)

Select the Image available (the one you just transferred over from PC) and select YES to flash

The DBox will start to erase existing flash, and write the new one (this will only take a few minutes)
The DBox will reset itself when done, and start up the new image

*** CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED YOUR DBOX ***

IF YOUR DBOX DOESN’T START BACK UP CORRECTLY …
Use the ‘System Restore’ program on your PC
Select ‘Restore To An Earlier Time’ and choose the correct point
Turn back ON your firewall, and virus checker
Connect back onto the internet, and online to the forum
Search for the answer to your problem, or post for some help !!!

7. Now To Add Some Channels:

Go back to stage 2, and check, as your DBox IP Address may have changed

Take a note of the settings (if different) (if so, change the settings on your PC as shown in stage 3)

8. Go back to the PC, and run the Flash FXP program

Reconnect the PC to DBox (remember the IP Address of the DBox may have changed)

In the PC file window, browse to the folder containing the “service” and “bouquets” files that has to be for yor area.

In the DBox window browse to /VAR/TUXBOX/CONFIG/ZAPIT/

Transfer the “service” and “bouquet” files across into there

When done close down the Flash FXP program.

9. Pull out the power cable to the DBox, wait a few seconds, and then power back on
dont forget to set your network card back ip address automatic
(this is the best way to prevent any channel problems)
